Re: Fleet stuck in temporary orbit

Follow up:

None of the savegames with these two wierd fleets will load. Game crashes to desktop with no message. I reverted to an autosave predating me launching the intercept, and that loaded fine.

Fleet stuck in temporary orbit

Validation build, 0.3.42. So I have some ships stuck in a temporary orbit. (screenshot). I tried something, launching them at an enemy fleet that was approaching Earth (it was very close, just a day or two out). The enemy fleet evaded, but my fleet is now stuck in an orbit around Sol. They have over...

Re: A new level of bu.......

@OP What build are you playing? There have been changes to the bombardment mechanics on the validation build, so it's hard to incorporate this as feedback when we don't know what version of the game it's arising from. I am playing 0.3.42, validation build on Steam. However, this game was probably s...

Sorry but reading your 1st post just made me LOL. At least now you know how the poor xenos feel when your nuclear excorts enter their systems to drop a nuke and be gone before they can respond . 3.

[Suggestion / Request] Solar System Map Modes

At times, the solar system can be quite cluttered, and there are some things that I seem to have lost that I could see before. 1) It would be nice to have a free-moving camera, instead of always locked to object. 2) Perhaps options to remove clutter, scaling from only showing major planets, to plane...

Re: Gameplay and UI Suggestions

Say the aliens want to be at least 95% of all the fleet power in the system. As long as your faction's total fleet power is less than 5%, then no hate. I like this. So as the Aliens % of total fleet power decreases, they become more agitated. But there are multiple human factions, so it has to be b...

Re: Gameplay and UI Suggestions

MC is a very good regulator for the scale of human space industry. What I would suggest though is that certain specific techs give +1 to the hate floor. So the aliens might not care if you research claims or bridges or bonuses to welfare but will take note if you research combat ships or titans or a...

Re: A new level of bu.......

A further problem is with auto resolve. If you have missile equipped ships, you always win the autoresolve, without even using all your missiles. A PD heavy fleet will always beat a missile heavy fleet despite having a much lower combat rating when you actually fight the battle. And the aliens are m...

Re: Aliens Attack - but where?

It might have been one if the other factions that triggered an attack, or one of their invading armies called in an orbital strike on whatever they were invading. Doesn't have to be you. But it's often not clear what exactly it is. Or it's me not knowing where to look. Check the news items on the le...

Re: Is there a Penalty for not Investigating Alien Activity?

Can't say for sure.

But you always have a chance to reveal an alien, and you might still need to do the kill or capture objective. Or reveal an alien structure, which is a good place to get salvage components.

Re: Proposal: Separate Hate Meter for Total Fleet Power

Most of this is already covered by in game mechanics. I am guessing you just might not have come across them yet. Ships cost Mission Control, as do major research hubs. Both are major drivers for alien hate. There are also technologies and faction modifiers which play into this. But I leave you to f...

Agreed. The habs page is your best bet for that. It shows the output and upkeep for each hab on the left. If you filter it to say all habs in orbit of Earth, you can manually add up the relevant output from each hab. With some mental gymnastics you could assess that if you have +40% energy, then you...

With regards fleet battles, if I understand the dev plan rightly, they are planning to do ship groups, or coordinated movements, etc. Remains to be seen how it will be implemented. As it is, it is a bit of micro, but once you get used to it, it works quite well. I hated it at first, but now I am rat...
